I have an 08 Stratos with matching trailer. Got home last night and the driverside trailer brake was hotter than hell, brake dust filled the rim and the wheel is dragging. Only the drivers side.
What would cause this and what should I do?

Sounds like a stuck caliper
Ya it stuck before, I took the caliper off pushed the piston in. Then reassembled and it seemed to work for a few months but now it stuck again. Is there a better fix?

You can see if you can get a rebuild kit for the caliper,,, I would just replace it,,, easier to do in my opinion
Contact UFPnet.com they sure helped me out are great people had the same thing happen to me just the other side make sure you bleed your brakes well after.

Try bleeding your brakes to clear the lines of any junk that may have gotten in there.
